Why am I Not Seeing Record High Temperatures Every Year? Climate Reality for the Confused Generation

Global warming, caused by greenhouse gases from human activity, is causing the earth to become warmer each year and cause historic highs. That has been the dominant narrative in our world today. It is not difficult to realize that there is something amiss with this warming narrative, when our thermometers and satellites don’t record historic

No Roads and No Electricity: Why Fossil Fuels are Indispensable for Development

I live in the Silicon Valley of India, Bangalore. Except for the tech companies, there aren’t many similarities between Bangalore (now Bengaluru) and the Silicon Valley in California. I live in the northern part of the city. Roads here remain in an unusable condition. They are worse than any bad road you would find in

China’s Coal Bi-Polarity Expedites the Death of the Paris Agreement

The Paris agreement’s nosedive has been expedited by the growing skepticism about man-made global warming. However, the most significant threat to the agreement has come from countries that refuse to quench their addiction to coal.  Among them is the largest consumer of coal: China.

The Elephant in the Room: Lack of Warming and the Eastern Coal Rampage

I’ve not seen the mainstream alarmist media in the U.S. questioning the on-going “coal boom” in the Eastern part of the world or defending America’s right to use fossil fuels. Instead, they’ve embarked on a climate scaremongering spree, gradually persuading the masses to embrace the lawmakers’ proposals for radical green policies that aim to reduce and even ban fossil fuel use.

With A Pinch Of Salt: Endless Failure Of Climate Doomsday Tales

On June 29, 2017, the Dailymail in UK ran an article headlined “Four years to save the Earth: 2020 is the deadline to avert climate catastrophe, experts claim in chilling commentary.” Two years later and halfway to deadline, the earth has not changed much.

Why the U.S. Must Say No to Extreme Green Policies

The green policies of radical environmentalists and climate alarmists have been plaguing the fastest growing economies and even the established economic powerhouses of Europe. The U.S. has largely evaded the oppressive policies of radical environmentalism, thanks to the pro-development government. However, lawmakers in Congress are becoming increasingly vocal about adopting radical green policies. Citizens should
